Chapter 380: Chapter 225: Just a Stepmother Boxer, Is It Really That Hard to Kill Her? (Part 2)

After Du Kangkang left with countless thanks, the viewers in the live streaming room still indulged in fiercely criticizing the fat woman, unable to extricate themselves.

"Damn it! If I die in the future, I’ll take my boyfriend with me, so he doesn’t marry another useless woman, ruining my son!"

"Rewarding myself with a fear-of-marriage story every day, awesome!"

"Not gonna say more, already reverse-brainwashing my parents. Divorce is fine, but if anyone finds me a stepdad or stepmom, don’t blame me!"

...

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the weather forecast. Starting this week, due to solar activity, extreme weather will occur.

High temperatures will persist in the north, west, and central parts of Dragon Country; while typhoons, heavy rains, and other severe weather may appear in the east, south, and coastal areas.

In the coming week, daytime temperatures in Y City can reach up to 42°C, with a minimum of 18°C, a significant temperature difference. Citizens are advised to pay attention to temperature changes and take precautions against the sun before going out..."

"Click!"

At the foot of Qilian Mountain, Old Wang turned off the TV, continuously fanning with a bamboo fan, yet still feeling unable to dispel the heat.

He struggled to get up from the recliner, face wracked with worry, after a while, the old yellow electric fan finally started to creak and turn.

Feeling the wind from the electric fan, though warm, was still a bit more comfortable than before. Looking at the scorching sun outside, Old Wang couldn’t help but curse, "Damn heavens, are you trying to kill us?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

This temperature change isn’t too dramatic; ever since entering the new century, summers have been hotter, winters colder, and extreme weather has appeared frequently, they’ve gotten used to it.

Local residents felt the impact wasn’t significant, but the relocated residents hadn’t yet had their housing organized by the government, most living in wartime relief houses.

These houses were fine on ordinary days, but when met with high temperatures, their shortcomings were completely exposed.

They’re not ventilated, not insulated, and even trap heat, worse than steamers!

Not just humans, even scavengers with formidable vitality, would find themselves belly-up, four feet in the air.

In this scorching summer, the lack of appropriate cooling facilities led the relocated residents from Enjiang Town to voice repeated complaints, rampantly criticizing the government’s inaction online.

"Grandpa Wang, are you home?"

With a soft voice, Xiaorou walked in, holding a small bag containing emergency cooling supplies sent by the government.

With some effort, she stood up straight, and Old Wang smiled lovingly, "Xiaorou, be careful too, in this hot weather, don’t get heatstroke."

Xiaorou made a ghost face, saying, "Hehe, I won’t, I’m perfectly healthy."

While distributing cooling supplies to Old Wang, they heard a screech from outside.

As the car door opened, a familiar face emerged.

Xiaorou immediately got excited, waving her little hand, "Big sister, big sister!"

"Huh!?"

The woman heard and looked over, seeing Xiaorou, waved and smiled, then walked into the government’s cooling station nearby.

Soon after, she came out with a bag of ice water, cooling pads, and other items, waved again, got into the car, and drove away.

...

"This freaking weather is getting more and more outrageous, it’s clearly autumn, yet still so hot."

In the car, Lin Baiwei kept complaining, couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, do you think this has something to do with the Spiritual Qi Revival? In novels, it’s always written like that, when an era arrives, anomalies follow, will we get sunburned to death in the future?"

"I told you to read more books, yet you insist on reading all novels, huh!"

Lin Yanke rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless, "Industrialization, fossil fuel burning, rapid population increase, severe vegetation destruction, these issues cause global warming. Isn’t this weather normal?"

"Ugh, saying it like that is boring."

Lin Baiwei stuck out her tongue, "I worked hard to learn Dragon Slaying Skill, yet there’s no dragon in the world to slay, isn’t that too dull?"

"Just because you learned Dragon Slaying Skill, must you slay dragons?" Lin Yanke chuckled, "Aren’t you someone who learned advanced mathematics, yet can you still solve high school math problems?"

"Ah ah ah! You don’t understand, you totally don’t understand how I feel! A genius like me is destined to be remembered in the Cultivation Realm’s history, not racking my brain over some math problems..."

"Talismanic Dao, later stages actually apply mathematics." Lin Yanke looked out the window, casually throwing out a cool statement.

"Ah!"

Instantly, Lin Baiwei’s spine collapsed, like a defeated rooster, eyes dull, losing motivation.

Speaking of Lin Baiwei’s mountain retreat for cultivation, initially she had no foundation, but, not to brag, in cultivation matters, talent is extraordinarily crucial.

From dozing for days, now she’s able to quiet her mind and focus, her meditation time has reached an incense stick’s duration.

Regarding Lin Baiwei’s terrifying talent, Lin Yanke was equally shocked in secret.

This kind of exceptional talent, in the Mythical Era, would be the leading figure among young disciples in any sect!

But Lin Yanke wasn’t in a hurry to teach her the subsequent cultivation techniques; she planned to solidify Lin Baiwei’s foundations first, accumulating deep before soaring.

No need to follow family demands, making Lin Baiwei to cultivate on the mountain like herself; regardless of whether her temperament can endure it, to put it bluntly, she hasn’t reached the point of needing Grotto Heaven Blessed Land for training.

Regarding all this, Lin Baiwei naturally had no say, but it didn’t stop her from secretly cursing inside.

Others with such a powerful sister and a world-famous brother-in-law would have long lay comfortably as second-generation heirs, who else but her gets whipped daily like this?!

This trip home, partly due to family intent, partly Lin Yanke’s own idea.

Since childhood, she was sent by the Lin Family to Changchun Temple, besides academics, she spent vacations with her master and senior brother, her worldview didn’t align with ordinary children, and she was quite unfamiliar with so-called parental affection.

Yet even though that’s the case, ultimately born after ten months of pregnancy, fulfilling filial duty is naturally essential, aligning with the essence of Natural Daoist Skill.

...

"Surpassing all demons, which cannot be a barrier, should be embraced by all worlds;

Great offerings, enhanced by the incantation, tigers, wolves, poisonous insects;

Evildoers of human and non-human, completely unable to oppress, as the Tathagata first attained enlightenment;

Under the Bodhi tree, using this seal and secret words, dismantling the demonic crowd;

...

At the Yang Family Villa in Z City, Lu Taiyi sat in front of the quiet room, imparting Buddhist Teachings to his two disciples.

What he spoke wasn’t utterly fabricated but casually copied from a Buddhist scripture, primarily to boost prestige.

In the Song Huiyao Collection, there’s a description of that sect: recently there have been cunning people changing names, assembling societies, sometimes called white-clad worship society or under the alias celestial army to welcome deities, forming groups by the thousand, gathering nocturnally and dispersing at dawn, transmitting devilish numbers.

Until the closed-door policy, the populace was ignorant, hence they believed in these things.

In today’s era, even Lu Taiyi, let alone the head of a mental hospital, wouldn’t dare preach using old theories!

That stuff sounds dubious, like it’s bound for execution instantly.

So, Lu Taiyi directly found a couple of famous Buddhist scriptures, deepened rapport first, then subtly indoctrinated, with a step-by-step approach.

"I refuse to believe it! Even if the scythe is sharp, can it cut out your brains?!"
